My Craft Room
It’s been a couple of years since I posted a photo of my craft room; mainly because it was completely disorganized and chaotic for most of that time. Well, now that cooler weather is upon us and I hope to do a few indoor projects, tidying and organizing it seemed like a good idea. My […]
Easy Magnetic Bookmarks
I don’t know what to tell you – it’s scrap paper and adhesive magnets. Not much to say as far as a tutorial goes, but clearly there are people out there that have been creating a marketplace for these super-simple magnetic bookmarks – and have been getting screwed!
